makeupVarious “Best and Worst Makeup of 2016” videos have been floating around YouTube over the past couple of weeks.

Popular YouTubers such as PatrickStarrr, Kathleen Lights, Jaclyn Hill, and Manny MUA have made videos talking about the greatest and not so great beauty and makeup products of 2016. In 2016, many new products were released into the beauty world.  These videos really showed viewers which products from the past year are really worth their money.

Some products that were loved and were featured in many of the videos include the Anastasia Beverly Hills Moonchild Glow Kit, the Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation, the Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance Palette, and the Tarte Shape Tape Concelear.  Most all of these items have sold out on the brands’ websites, and also on makeup retailers such as Sephora and Ulta.

Some of the “misses” of 2016 include the Anastasia Beverly Hills Ultimate Glow Kit, the Urban Decay Naked Illuminated Highlighter Palette, and the Makeup Forever Water Blend Face & Body Foundation.  These products, though they turned out to be subpar, were also sold out on these websites and in stores.  This left consumers mostly unsatisfied.

These videos have set a high standard for new beauty products in 2017.  Almost everyone can’t wait for new products to start rolling out.
